NOTE: This post has been updated since Monday morning ET.
A radical Islamic leader has placed Molly Norris -- the artist who helped spawn the recent "Everybody Draw Mohammad Day!" before distancing herself from the campaign -- on an execution hit list, according to the New York Daily News.
FBI officials alerted Norris to what they are treating as a "very serious threat," according to the report.
The Islamic leader is Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, a New Mexico-born 39-year-old who has been called arguably the highest-profile English-speaking supporter of violent jihad. Awlaki has been linked to the recent Times Square bombing attempt and reportedly inspired Texas's Fort Hood massacre.
Awlaki reportedly says that Norris is a "prime target" for execution and that her "proper abode is hellfire."
Writing in the English-language Al Qaeda magazine that calls itself "Inspire," Awlaki condemns nine people -- including Norris and two European illustrators (Lars Vilks and Kurt Westergaard) whom he accuses of creating "blasphemous caricatures" of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
"We understand the absolute seriousness of a threat from an Al Qaeda-inspired magazine and are attempting to do everything in our power to assist the individuals on that list to effectively protect themselves and change their behavior to make themselves less of a target," David Gomez, FBI assistant special agent in charge of counterterrorism in Seattle, told the Daily News.
Norris, a Seattle artist, drew her "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" cartoon in April in response to Comedy Central's editing of its program "South Park" and the animated show's attempts to depict Muhammad -- and to satirize reactions to any effort to ridicule Muhammad.
Awlaki has served as an imam in Virginia and California. Comedy Central's editing of "South Park" followed inflammatory posts about the show's creators by the pro-jihad website Revolution Muslim. News reports said the Revolution Muslim posts were by Abu Talhah Al-Amrikee -- a.k.a. Zachary Adam Chesser of Virginia. The Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism said Chesser, a recent George Mason University student, wanted to start a Revolution Muslim chapter in Washington, D.C., according to a FoxNews.com report.
On April 25, shortly after the Norris created her "anti-censorship" cartoon, Comic Riffs broke the news that Norris was distancing herself from the illustration:
"I made a cartoon that went viral but [this campaign] isn't really my thing," Norris told Comic Riffs. "Other folks have taken it over." She said she was retreating from that appropriation. The cartoon was publicized by Seattle radio and such prominent bloggers as Dan Savage, who told Comic Riffs in April that he received the e-mailed cartoon from Norris.
Norris's Facebook account has been taken down and the content from her personal page, MollyNorris.com, is no longer viewable. Her April YouTube video of her explanation for the cartoon has also been "removed by the user." In that video, Norris apologized to "everyone of the Muslim faith who has or will be offended" by her cartoon and supported calling off "Everyone Draw Mohammed Day," which was staged May 20. She also urged America's Muslims and non-Muslims to come together -- to meet "halfway."
At the time, Norris also posted a new cartoon titled "Diet of Fear," that reads: "All you have to do is tick off a few million Muslims and you'll be too afraid to eat!"
The day before the May 20 "Draw Muhammad Day," Norris told Comic Riffs that her stance was: "Fight for the right to draw Mohammed, then decline doing so."
"If I had wanted my one-off cartoon to be the basis for a worldwide movement to draw Mohammed, then at this moment I should be thrilled" Norris told Comic Riffs. "But instead I am horrified! My one-off cartoon that was specifically about Comedy Central's behaviour [sic] vs. Revolution Muslim's threat leading to a slippery slope of censorship in America is not good for a long-term plan.
"The results have shown to be vitriolic and worse, offensive to Muslims who had nothing to do with the censorship issue I was inspired to draw about in the first place."
On May 19, Norris also told Comic Riffs that she attended a Seattle-area "Seerah Conference that was started by a local mosque four years ago after the Danish cartoon debacle. The folks there had to babysit me because I was so upset by this whole viral phenomenon."
Continued Norris: "I have spoken with some women at that mosque about possibly making short documentaries about areas where they see there may be a need to help non-Muslims understand their culture. These could be both entertaining and informative -- I hope it happens!"

Create memory map to a file
an existing file, m
= memmapfile(filename
, to memory and returns
the memory map, m
Memory-mapping is a mechanism that maps a portion of a file, or an entire file, on disk to a range of memory addresses within the MATLAB® address space. Then, MATLAB can access files on disk in the same way it accesses dynamic memory, accelerating file reading and writing. Memory-mapping allows you to work with data in a file as if it were a MATLAB array.
the properties of m
= memmapfile(filename
using one or more name-value
pair arguments. For example, you can specify the format of the data
in the file.
DataAt the command prompt, create a sample file in your current
folder called records.dat
, containing 10 uint8
myData = uint8(1:10)'; fileID = fopen('records.dat','w'); fwrite(fileID, myData,'uint8'); fclose(fileID);
Create a map for records.dat
. When
using memmapfile
, the default data format is uint8
the file name is the only required input argument in this case.
m = memmapfile('records.dat')
m = Filename: 'd:\matlab\records.dat' Writable: false Offset: 0 Format: 'uint8' Repeat: Inf Data: 10x1 uint8 array
MATLAB maps the entire records.dat
to memory, setting all properties of the memory map to their default
values. The memory map is assigned to the variable, m
In this example, the command maps the entire file as a sequence of
unsigned 8-bit integers and gives the caller read-only access to its

Create a memory map for double-precision data. The syntax is similar when specifying other data types.
At the command prompt, create a sample file in your current
folder called records.dat
, containing 10 double
myData = (1:10)'; fileID = fopen('records.dat','w'); fwrite(fileID,myData,'double'); fclose(fileID);
Create a memory map for records.dat

Create a memory map for records.dat
and set the Format
property for the output to int32
Also, set the Offset
property to disregard the
first 9000 bytes in the file, and the Writable

m = Filename: 'd:\matlab\records.dat' Writable: true Offset: 9000 Format: 'int32' Repeat: Inf Data: 7750x1 int32 array
The Format
property indicates that any read
or write operation made via the memory map reads and writes the file
contents as a sequence of signed 32-bit integers. The Data
contains only 7750 elements because the first 9000 bytes of records.dat
representing the first 2250 values in the file, are not mapped.

folder called mybinary.bin
, containing 100 double-precision
randData = gallery('uniformdata',[100,1],0,'double'); fileID = fopen('mybinary.bin','w'); fwrite(fileID,randData,'double'); fclose(fileID);
Map the first 75 values in mybinary.bin
a 5-by-5-by-3 array of double-precision values that can be referenced
in the structure of the memory map using the field name x
Specify these parameters with the Format
pair argument.
m = memmapfile('mybinary.bin',... 'Format',{'double',[5 5 3],'x'})
m = Filename: 'd:\matlab\mybinary.bin' Writable: false Offset: 0 Format: {'double' [5 5 3] 'x'} Repeat: Inf Data: 1x1 struct array with fields: x

of double-precision values. Use a cell array to define the format
of the mapped region and repeat the pattern twice.

, the mapped region is read-only.
If true
, then write access is allowed.
Example: 'Writeable',true
Data Types: logical
— Number of bytes from start of file to start of mapped region0 (default) | nonnegative integerNumber of bytes from the start of the file to the start of the
mapped region, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Offset'
a nonnegative integer. This value is zero-based. That is, an Offset
of 0 represents the start of the file.
Example: 'Offset',1024

pair consisting of 'Format'
and a single string
or an n
-by-3 cell array.
If the file region you are mapping contains data of
only one type, specify the Format
value as a string
identifying that type.
To specify an array shape to apply to the data read
or written to the mapped file, and a field name to reference this
array, specify the Format
value as a 1-by-3 cell
array. The first cell contains a string identifying the data type
to apply to the mapped region. The second cell contains the array
dimensions to apply to the region. The third cell contains a string
specifying the field name to use in the Data
array of the memory map.
Example: {'uint64',[30
4 10],'x'}
If the region you are mapping is composed of segments
of varying data types or array shapes, you can specify an individual
format for each segment using an n
-by-3 cell array,
where n
is the number of segments.
Example: {'uint64',[30 4 10],'x';
'uint32',[30 4 6],'y'}
You can use any of the following data types when you specify

— Memory mapmemmapfile
objectMemory map, returned as a memmapfile
with the following properties.
Property | Description |
| Path and name of the mapped file |
| Type of access allowed to the mapped region |
| Number of bytes from the start of the file to the start of the mapped region |
| Format of the contents of the mapped region, including data type, array size, and field name by which to access the data |
| Number of times to apply the pattern specified by the Format property
to the mapped region of the file |
| Memory-mapped data from the file. Data can
be a numeric array or a structure array with field names specified
in the Format property |
The values for any property (except for Data
are set at the time you call memmapfile
, using
name-value pair arguments.
Access any property of m
with dot notation
similar to accessing fields of a structure array. For example, to
access the memory-mapped data in the Data
do one of the following:
If Data
is a numeric array, call m.Data
If Data
is a scalar (1-by-1) structure
array, call m.Data.
where fieldname
is the name of a field.
If Data
is a nonscalar structure
array, call m.Data(
where index
the index for the element in the structure array, and fieldname
the name of a field. For example, to access the file data in the temperature
of the first element of Data
, call m.Data(1).temperature
After you create a memory map, m
, you can
change the value of any of its properties, except for Data
To assign a new value, use dot notation. For example, to set a new Offset
for m
, type:
m.Offset = 2048;
You can map only an existing file. You cannot create a new file and map that file to memory in one operation. Use the MATLAB file I/O functions to create the file before attempting to map it to memory.
After memmapfile
locates the
file, MATLAB stores the file's absolute pathname internally,
and then uses this stored path to locate the file from that point
on. As a result, you can work in other directories outside your current
work directory and retain access to the mapped file.
does not expand or
append to a mapped file. Use instead standard file I/O functions like fopen
and fwrite
The actual mapping of a file to the MATLAB address space
does not take place when you construct a memmapfile
A memory map, based on the information currently stored in the mapped
object, is generated the first time you reference or modify the Data
for that object.

But long-standing disputes make a breakthrough on a Mercosur free-trade pact unlikely.Here are five facts about trade between the EU and Latin America:* Bilateral trade has more than doubled over the last decade to reach some 200 billion euros ($280 billion) last year, and Europe is the top foreign investor in Latin America and the Caribbean.* Both regions have populations of about 500 million, but the EU's total economic output is three times bigger at $17.6 trillion.* Like the United States, the EU has free-trade agreements with much of Latin America. Along with those of Mexico and Chile, EU lawmakers approved free-trade accords with Colombia, Peru and six Central American nations in December.* A free-trade deal with the South American trade bloc Mercosur, made up of Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Uruguay and Paraguay, would be a real coup for the Europeans. The EU is Mercosur's biggest trading partner. Mercosur is the EU's No. 8 trading partner. EU exports to the region rose to 45 billion euros in 2011 from 28 billion euros in 2007.* Talks started 18 years ago and were relaunched in 2010. But rising tensions with Argentina and Brazil have put an agreement in doubt. Argentine President Cristina Fernandez seized control of oil company YPF from its parent, Spain's Repsol, last year and slapped curbs on imports. Global Trade Alert, an independent body monitoring trade, says Brazil is one of the world's 10 most protectionist countries. (Reporting by Robin Emmott; Editing by Xavier Briand)

Memories of Missy
To know Missy was to know the purpose of life. Missy was brought into our lives 8 years ago, she had previous owners that had no idea that they were in the presence of the most inspirational and amazing animal. We were lucky enough to appreciate the beautiful creature that had made our lives complete. She quickly took to diva life, and became alpha dog to the other dogs in the household. She loved to play dress up from being an angel and a devil for Halloween and a reindeer on Christmas. And of course she always had a fresh manicure (im not joking). Missy has impacted everyone who ever laid eyes on her, even in her final moments. The time I shared with her was so precious and even though its never enough, I know that Missy is happy now, and for that I am at peace. Missy brought me so much happiness and she showed me strengths I never knew I had. I am grateful for every single moment I spent with her, each one enhanced my life. I know the love of Missy therefore, I have experienced truly unconditional love. To Missy: I love you and miss you. You made my life joyful, peaceful, and complete. I was the LUCKY one.... Rest in Peace 'MISSYMOO' |

We apologize for your experience in the business center! We have had a technician come out to look at the issue and to our knowledge they both have been in working condition since. We try to keep the business center stocked with paper however, if it runs out you can always ask someone in the office and we will supply you with some. We understand your concern about the hot tub and apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you for your review! If you ever have any concerns please contact the office.

I think the location is great, and it's relatively clean. The office staff though, is not always the easiest t Read Moreo get in touch with. Sometimes, they act as if it is inconvenient for them to put in maintenance calls, and they sometimes lock the office early even if someone is still there. They are slow to deal with their own maintenance issues, such as fixing the hot tub, and if you have an emergency maintenance issue, they won't deal with it unless normal business hours.

Overall the facility and staff are wonderful! However the parking is an issue for me. The fact that I cannot Read More have guest after 6pm unless they park a mile away in the visitor lot is an issue. I think having a few visitor spots throughout the facility is a much better option.

Former Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell announced today he will not run for governor. He's also not endorsing any of the current candidates:
Campbell declined to endorse either of the two Republicans remaining in the race, Rep. Bob Beauprez and former University of Denver President Marc Holtzman. "I feel the best candidates haven't emerged yet," Campbell said.It seems that our former Senator is disenchanted not only with politics, but with the right-wing of the Republican party.
You can't be held to a strict ideological code that you can't do anything about. What they want is absolute obedience." Campbell said. He refused to name names.

Microlensing observations toward M31 are a powerful tool for the study of the dark matter population in the form of MACHOs both in the Galaxy and the M31 halos, a still unresolved issue, as well as for the analysis of the characteristics of the M31 luminous populations. In this work, we present the second-year results of our pixel lensing campaign carried out toward M31 using the 152 cm Cassini telescope in Loiano. We have established an automatic pipeline for the detection and the characterization of microlensing variations. We have carried out a complete simulation of the experiment and evaluated the expected signal, including an analysis of the efficiency of our pipeline. As a result, we select 1-2 candidate microlensing events (according to different selection criteria). This output is in agreement with the expected rate of M31 self-lensing events. However, the statistics are still too low to draw definitive conclusions on MACHO lensing.

Design of a birefringent Michelson interferometer-based interleaver with ultra-low dispersion and low cost |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 24, pp. 24210-24218 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1008 KB)
We design and demonstrate a birefringent Michelson interferometer based interleaver with ultra-low dispersion and low cost. The interleaver consists of polarizing beam splitters (PBS's) and quarter-wave plates and half-wave plates. The PBS's based Michelson interferometers provide the optical path difference for interference between the two orthogonal polarization components and the half-wave plates provide the birefringent needed to minimize ripple of output. The designed interleaver with two-stage interferometer in a 50 GHz channel spacing application exhibits a 0.5 dB passband and a 25 dB stopband both 27GHz; a channel isolation higher than 35 dB and chromatic dispersion less than ±5 ps/nm within 0.5 dB passband; 1.3 dB insertion loss and 0.3 dB PDL; 0.04GHz/°C thermal stability. Since all of the optical components can be optically bonded together, the device is robust and easy to be aligned, which reduces labor cost.

WASHINGTON, July 3, 2014 – HEB Meat Processing, a San Antonio, Texas establishment, is recalling approximately 75,465 pounds of various fresh beef products because they may be contaminated with foreign materials, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The products subject to recall include: [View Labels (PDF Only)]
The products were produced June 9 and June 10, 2014, then distributed for retail sale in Texas. The packages may also bear the establishment number "EST. 7231" in the USDA mark of inspection on the package label.
The firm alerted FSIS after HEB Meat Processing employees discovered metal shavings in products (via a metal detection system) June 10. Products from the June 10 and June 11 production date were destroyed as a result. The firm's investigation determined the source of the fragments to be from a failed bearing in auger machinery. On June 27, a customer reported finding metal in the product [produced on June 9] during an in-store sampling.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
Consumers with questions about the recall may contact HEB Customer Relations at 1-800-432-3113. Media with questions about the recall should contact company Public Affairs Manager Dya Campos at (210) 938-8075.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov. "Ask Karen" live chat services are available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day. The online Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System can be accessed 24 hours a day at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/reportproblem.

On July 19 the perfect picture shattered. After a loud argument that was overheard by neighbors, Brandon shot his wife, then turned his gun on himself. The double slaying was the fourth domestic tragedy at Fort Bragg in recent weeks. On June 11 Sgt. First Class Rigoberto Nieves, 32, shot himself and his wife, Teresa, 28, two days after returning from Afghanistan. Over the next six weeks Master Sgt. William Wright, 36, allegedly strangled his wife, Jennifer, 32; Sgt. Cedric Griffin, 28, allegedly stabbed his estranged wife, Marilyn, 32, and set fire to her home; and Maj. David Shannon, 40, was shot while sleeping in his home, a killing in which police have said that the wife remains a suspect.
The troubling epidemic of domestic violence has left Fort Bragg officials fumbling for an explanation. "It's a little more stressful with special operations simply because they're gone so much of the time," says Army spokesman Brian Sutton. But Griffin, an Army cook, and Shannon, an active-duty Reserve officer, had served neither in the Special Forces nor in Afghanistan. Several Special Forces wives dismiss any such link between the killings and battlefield stress. "Most of my friends are in very strong marriages," says Suzanne Blatt, 33, whose husband has been away all but one month this year. Lt. Sam Pennica, the detective in charge of homicide for the Cumberland County Sheriff's office, also sees no war connection. In the marriages, he says, "there were numerous problems. They just happened to come to a head around the same time."
According to Jennifer Wright's parents, their daughter's 14-year marriage had been unraveling for two years. "They had their ups and downs, and lately there were a lot more downs," says her father, Archie Watson, 62. "I thought they had come to an agreement about a divorce." Watson says that an officer at Fort Bragg showed him copies of three pleas for help that William, a Green Beret, had sent to the Army's Judge Advocate General's office upon his return from Afghanistan in May. "He'd said in them that he was upset and didn't know what to do," says Watson. "I think they failed him, and the result was my daughter's death." William has been charged with first-degree murder. Sons Jacob, 9, John 6, and Ben, 13, who heard his mother crying the night of her murder, are in Ohio with Jennifer's sister.
The Floyds' seven-year marriage began showing strain after Andrea, serving as a surrogate mother, gave birth to twins 20 months ago. "She wanted to bring joy to someone else's life," says Flitcraft, 51. Brandon had agreed to the arrangement, and the couple subsequently became the twins' godparents. But after the delivery, Brandon's long absences began to take a toll on the marriage. "With Brandon gone and her having to handle it all on her own, it got hard," says Flitcraft. "They stopped being sweet to each other."
Andrea, a retired soldier in top-notch physical condition, insisted that Brandon was not physically abusive. But Flitcraft grew concerned over what she perceived to be Brandon's verbal abuse. "I said, 'You need counseling,'" says Flitcraft. "She told me she had it under control." When Andrea asked for a divorce in June, Brandon agreed. But after he returned in early July from a two-week special training mission, their fights grew so rancorous that Andrea packed their kids off to her mother in Ohio. Days later the Floyds had their last fight.
At Andrea's funeral, Flitcraft and Brandon's parents, Arthur and Charlotte Floyd, hugged each other tight. "We share three beautiful grandchildren," says Flitcraft. She will now raise Harlee, 8, B.J., 5, and Garrett, 4. "I told them the truth," she says. "I told them Daddy wasn't himself for one brief moment in time." Convinced that Andrea might still be alive had Brandon received counseling upon his return from Afghanistan, Flitcraft has another mission: to persuade the Army to enforce compulsory counseling for soldiers newly returned from battle. "I don't want my daughter's death to be in vain," she says. "If this results in other military families getting the help they need, it won't have been in vain."

London 2012: Olympic Torch Relay Route Released
LONDON GAMES officials unveiled a street-by-street map of the 8,000-mile (12,875-kilometer) route, which begins at Land's End — the westernmost tip of England — on May 19 and includes a stop in Dublin, Ireland.
Schoolchildren, charity fundraisers, war veterans and a centenarian are among 8,000 people who will carry the Olympic flame in the torch relay for the 2012 London Games.
After human rights protests disrupted the international torch route before the 2008 Beijing Games, the International Olympic Committee ruled that torch relays should be confined to host countries. The IOC made an exception for Ireland this year.
Most of the torchbearers are members of the public chosen for embodying community spirit, courage and athletic determination.
The volunteers, who each will cover about 300 yards (meters) include Britain's oldest full-time firefighter and a soldier who lost three of his limbs in an explosion in Afghanistan.
The youngest is 11, and the oldest is Londoner Diana Gould, who turns 100 on May 23.
"As long as the walk is on the flat I think I'll be OK," she told the BBC.
One of the first torchbearers will be Dave Jackson, a volunteer coast guard officer from Cornwall in southwest England.
"I think it'll be a case of 'Don't drop it!' That'll be going through my mind quite a bit," he said. "'Don't start any fires.'"
While most torchbearers will walk or run, the flame will also be carried on skates, whizzed on a zip wire off the Tyne Bridge in northeast England and rowed along the River Thames during its 70-day trip.
Olympic organizers said Monday the relay will pass within 10 miles (16 kilometers) of 95 percent of Britain's population.
Details of the final two days of the torch's journey — and the names of those who will carry the flame into London's Olympic Stadium ahead of the July 27-August 12 games — are being kept under wraps.

Zucchini, the fast-growing summer squash we all know best, is just one of many summer squash varieties. Cooked to tender perfection, zucchini is nutty-sweet and delicious, whether steamed, sautéed, poached, baked, or grilled.
Green zucchini is medium or dark green with tiny gold flecks; its skin is smooth or lightly ridged. Cousa, also called Lebanese, Middle Eastern, Magda, and Kuta is shorter and plumper than its darker relative, with a blunt, rounded bottom end. This pale green squash has thin, tender skin and meltingly creamy flesh. Golden zucchini is sunny yellow and shaped just like its green cousin. Don't confuse it with pale yellow straightneck summer squash.
You can usually substitute other types of summer squash.
Zucchini, like all summer squash, tastes best when picked young; if squash is allowed to grow too big, it gets watery, tough, and tasteless. Whether you're choosing from the garden or the produce counter, pick small, firm squash, that are plump and brightly colored. The skin should be free of blemishes and should have a smooth, glossy sheen. Smaller squash are more tender because the skin is still thin and the seeds are unformed; they also contain less water than older squash. Zucchini is best when it's no more than six inches long.
If you see squash with fresh-looking blossoms still attached, buy them. This is a sure sign that the squash was picked and handled carefully on the way to the market.
After a gentle scrub under the faucet, the squash is ready to cut. There's no need to peel zucchini. Besides contributing color and nutrients, the skin helps the vegetable hold together better when cooked.
Try cutting zucchini into different shapes, depending on how you're using it. A medium dice (1/3 to 1/2 inch) is perfect for sautés, but for a more refined look, or to add to a dish during just the last few minutes of cooking, cut the squash into a small (1/4-inch) dice. Round or half-moon slices are good for soups and gratins. Julienne squash is perfect for stir-fries and slaws. For layering in a lasagna and for frying, cut whole squash into thin, lengthwise slices. And with a V-Slicer, you can make long zucchini strings, which are great to toss into soups or cook lightly and coat with a dressing to serve as a side dish.
Keep squash in a plastic bag in the refrigerator's crisper drawer. It will last for four to seven days, depending on its freshness when purchased.

I wonder how many in the LGBT community and those who support them will, in

I see no way for the government to continue outlawing polygamous marriages or
any type of marriage with the reasoning used to win the LGBT case. Maybe the
Carpenters (brother and sister who wanted to marry)... were just ahead of their
time. They had to leave the US to be married, but they could have sued and won
in the US if they had tried.
The reasoning used by the judge in this
case makes it clear that absolutely no restrictions can be tolerated (or you
would be denying someone "equal protection"). So obviously this opens
the door to every relationship possible.

Tyler, let's legalize all of it with one provision. All participants must be of age and enter such relationships of their own "free mind and will". Then we can finally concentrate on real issues that effect society like educating and feeding our children, creating good paying jobs and pug the economic drain the corporate world has given us.

Didn't a judge just throw a bone to the polygamist community a couple weeks ago? That having been said, I don't think anybody is looking at this as being open ended. I haven't heard anybody advocating for same sex marriage also advocating for incest or forced marriage or child abuse. Same sex couples, motivated by biology, appear to be looking for the benefits of a stable, long term monogamous relationship between consenting adults. Polygamists, however, are ideologically driven, by religion in this case, which has proven time and again subject to all kinds of abuse.

Just a note, polygamists already HAVE marriage equality. They
can marry ONE person of their choice. That's all that LGBT people have
been asking for: the right to marry ONE person of their choice.

Open Minded Mormon,
I don't know that the government can continue
preventing 14 year olds from wedding now. That would not be equal protection
under the law (age discrimination). By that standard if you prevent a 14 year
old from marrying you could get sued!
I think there are a lot of
unintended consequences from this ruling. We will just have to deal with them
as they come up. But it's clear that you can't pretend anybody who
wants to from marrying now. That would all be government discrimination of one
type or another and by this ruling... "illegal".

Depends what you mean by support. I'm fine with it being
decriminalized. Legalizing it would be a mess since it'd be changing a
2-person contract (and no you can't just have a bunch of 2-person
contracts, the overlapping nature of it would leave a mess out of taxes and
other issues).

prevent 14 year olds from doing all sorts of things that do not create 14th
amendment issues – drinking, voting, driving, signing contracts, joining
the military, etc.
Unless society undertakes a fundamental change in
its "of age" norms, this ruling will have no impact on stretching
those bounds.

I don't have a problem with polygamists marrying multiple women, or if a
woman wanted, marrying multiple men.
The late Alex Joseph, founder of
the Utah town Big Water, was a polygamist who supported his wives, if they
wanted to go to college, or leave the family. He would give any of his wives
$1000 and a car if they wanted to go, and many did. At any given time he would
have 6-8 wives, and one of his wives was the Kane County attorney, educated at
the U of U law school.
There was nothing coercive about this
arrangement, it's kind of hard to be opposed to that kind of freedom.

Tyler D,
That was the point of my post. All these restrictions based on
age could now be open to a law suit based on the "equal protection"
interpretation. At what age do people deserve equal protection or equal
rights? The judge didn't decide that in his ruling... but some judge will
have to some day.
The same goes for age based discrimination on
drinking, smoking, etc. According to the judge's interpretation of equal
protection... it's government endorsed discrimination to not allow one
person to do what is allowed for another.
So these "of age"
laws can be challenged in a court of law... and found
"unconstitutional". The precedent has been set and the judge has to
follow it. The only question is if anybody will challenge them.

@Confused and @2 bits
It's an interesting question with a
"slippery slope" logic to it, but again I see this as highly
unlikely given the fact that all societies either now or in history have
recognized some real/practical separation between adults & children, and for
a whole host of obvious reasons.
Granted the exact age of a minor is
somewhat arbitrary but our entire legal system is based on arbitrary lines being
drawn (e.g., 65mph OK – above that you're breaking the law). And as
you said, the question is not only who will challenge it but would it be a case
of such social importance as to rise to the level of Federal or Supreme Court
action? I doubt it…
With respect to gay people, there have been
societies throughout history that have allowed their unions, their actions
don't harm society, the prejudices against them are largely religious
and/or bigoted in nature, and there has been a significant constituency fighting
for equal rights for a long time.
Where are the 14 year olds
clamoring to get married, vote or patronize bars?

The slippery slope logic you use is basically the same as that used
by those who opposed interracial marriage. If you can't separate out the
differences between a white man marrying
1. a black woman
2. another
3. multiple women
4. a child
5. a dog
... well,
that's your problem.

I personally have no problem with polygamy being legally recognized but it seems a different level of legal scrutiny would be applied because one's sexual orientation is immutable and something you are born with (even the LDS Church admits this) while polygamy typically is based on one's religious persuasions (ie a choice) - I am unfamiliar with any precedent on an "I was born a polygamist" argument. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out in the courts.

The part of the story that Tyler Jensen left out was the probable truth that the
religious powers of the day influenced the government to pass a law requiring
marriage discrimination according to private religious belief. The same sort of
improper government action came about because of the power of religious
influence upon the government of Utah. Both cases violate the notion of freedom
of religion alluded to in the First Amendment.
If a person pledges
to uphold the purpose, meaning and promises of the founding fathers and the
documents that they created, a person must temper their outward religious
activities to fit within the American creed. Believe as you will, but act
according to the rules of America.

If your argument is that polygamists already have the same
right as others in marrying ONE person then the same "logic" can be used
to say that gays have always had the same rights as all people in being allowed
to marry someone of the opposite gender,
If they don't want to,
well, polygamists don't want to marry just one.
and frankly very weak argument you make there.

Groove Rule Slowed?
USGA mum on proposal; sources say no tour changes likely for next year
Related Links
On Feb. 27, 2007, the USGA issued a proposal on grooves that, if adopted, calls for manufacturers to produce clubs with less-effective grooves starting in 2010. Moreover, it also includes a provision for a Condition of Competition, effective Jan. 1, 2009, that would require use of clubs conforming to the new groove rules for tournaments, with a recommendation the condition apply only to events involving "highly skilled players."
A call to the USGA last week for a status report on the proposal produced little in the way of news, as senior technical director Dick Rugge declined to comment on specifics -- except to say there was "no set timetable for a decision on grooves."
However, industry sources familiar with the situation tell Golf World the Condition of Competition as proposed is no longer on the table, meaning tour pros are likely to be able to use current grooves in 2009.
Meanwhile, USGA and R&A officials are set to meet again this month to discuss the groove proposal, with one industry insider characterizing the ruling bodies as still somewhat apart. "The USGA is ready to go, but the R&A believes the proposed rule is trying to do too much," said the source.
Comments sent to the USGA from manufacturers regarding the proposal -- and obtained by Golf World -- reveal some consistent areas of concern. One common suggestion is a trial period where elite professional tours require the proposed configuration for up to five years. Said one manufacturer representative, "This [is a] huge thing to do, and we don't know if it is going to cure the supposed problem. So test it [and] see if you achieve your goal of making hitting fairways more important. If you prove it, then extend it to everybody else."
Manufacturers also say it will be difficult to produce grooves consistently in large quantities that would approach the proposed limits. Still, some clubs now on the market have grooves that conform to the proposed rule, so it's not an impossible task.
The USGA and R&A have given every indication that everything will be considered prior to implementing a rule. "It's been a far more open process than ever before," said Steve McCracken, senior executive VP and chief legal officer for Callaway. But what if after all the dialogue the rule came down exactly as proposed? "That would be very disappointing," McCracken said. "I think the comment period has generated good, interesting comments.
Now the question is will the actions reflect this good input? We'll see."
Indeed, manufacturers already are working on clubs for the 2010 product cycle and need to know under what rules they will be playing. The 2009 Condition of Competition may be off the table, but 2010 isn't that far away. The clock may be moving more slowly now, but it is still ticking.

No one was happier to see Scott Verplank continue to use his old Ping Anser at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship than Ryan Moore. Why? The new Ping Redwood ZB putter Moore used last week in finishing second originally was built for Verplank a few weeks ago, but Verplank gave up on it and gave it back to Ping. When Moore opted for something new, he tried the putter and liked the shorter length (34 inches). He felt it freed up his stroke.
Not surprisingly, players are now trying to emulate Lorena Ochoa, and among them is Cristie Kerr. Noting Ochoa had credited Ping for its role in her recent success, the defending U.S. Women's Open champ tested her Rapture driver at the company's Phoenix test center. Turned out it was producing too much spin, and Kerr changed to Ping's lower-spinning G10 driver, a club Kerr said she is hitting, "10 to 15 yards longer." ... Paula Creamer returned to her TaylorMade Rossa Suzuka CGB putter at the Stanford International Pro-Am. ... Might MacGregor be the next stop for the John Daly endorsement train? Daly used a set of custom-made forged blade MacGregor irons at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship.

Never once had a problem with it. Would
highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.

1998 Nissan Altima GXE 4dr Sedan
Recently purchased this 1998 GXE
model. Fully equipped, solid, no
nonsense car with an engine that is
more than adequate for the weight of
the car. Gas mileage appears to be
excellent. I was drawn to the Altima
because of its inherent value as a used
vehicle purchase. Simplicity, yet,
high quality for a modest price.

1998 Nissan Altima GXE 4dr Sedan
I bought this car in 2000 with only
16k, and had nothing but positive
experiences with it. One of the best
buys out there- dependable,
clean/great interior, ran very well,
and huge roomy trunk could fit just
about anything. In three years, I
didn't need to replace a single thing,
only needed oil change and tuneup. I
was heartbroken when car was totaled in
accident at 60k; I would have driven it

1998 Nissan Altima GXE 4dr Sedan
This car has done what it was designed
to do which is to get from point A to
point B. Never had a break down or
anything other than routine
maintenance. The interior road noise
and 70mph "shimmy" are unbearable on
long trips. New tires, 4-wheel
alignments, and computer balancing
haven't helped one bit. And let's not
forget the shaky hood. I get nervous
driving at highway speeds because the
hood shakes up and down like it's about
to fly off. This car has never been in
a collision, but it's parts fit
together like it has. I'm waiting to
get the loan paid down enough to trade
in on a Monte Carlo or Impala. I'll
never buy an import again.

I just sold my '98 Altima to get a new
car and wanted to review it. I LOVED
this car, it was my third car, I bought
it used with 55,000 miles on it and it
drove like new EVERY day. Never had a
problem with it. It was well cared for
before I bought it and I cared for it
until I sold it at 72,500 miles.

Great car for the money, must be one of
the best buys out there. When shopping,
I compared it with similar priced
competitors Ford Contour/Mercury
Mistique. No comparison!!! That
convinced me. Why pay so much for a
Honda or Toyota. I've had no trouble in
two years. It's peppy and economical to
drive. Friends who ride in it often
comment on what a nice car it is.

1998 Nissan Altima GLE 4dr Sedan
I have driven this car for 3 years now.
Fuel economy isn't that great b/c the
car sometimes seems to be like drinking
fuel as we drink water, but otherwise
it's affordable and good value. I have
pleasure driving it, from day 1 to day
7 and I love it dearly. It's a nice car
to own. No , it's not Acura but for the
value I got a GLE luxury car as a first
car I owned. It is my dream come true
to have such an awesome car.
I have 70000 miles on it right now and
it's 1998 model, not sure for how many
more miles it'll last me until my first
major problem, but I cross my fingers.
Noone talks good about high mileage
Nissan Altima... so don't know who to
listen to.

1998 Nissan Altima GXE 4dr Sedan
I have bought the Altima used with about 13,000 miles. In the four years I
have owned it, it has not failed me once. Short of normal maintenance, I have
never had trouble. I drove it cross country from Florida to Washington State
and back and not a single glitch. The exterior is kind of boring but I would not
change it for anything. I am going to keep it until it falls apart. It probably
